Chapter 440: Stunning Lead Singer & Cool Rapper 25

After being startled, Yu Shenshen immediately pressed the record button before answering.

Even if Jin Chen threatened him, he would leave evidence.

If I really can't get by then, Jin Chen won't get any advantage either.

But he didn't expect that the voice on the other end really wasn't Jin Chen's.

"You've received the emails, right?"

That person's voice was deep and heavy, exuding an inexplicable terror, like a ghost call from a horror movie.

Yu Shenshen couldn't help shivering, "Who... who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am; just do as I say."

"What do you want me to do?" Yu Shenshen, after confirming it wasn't Jin Chen, actually let out a sigh of relief.

No matter who is on the other end, it's something money can solve.

Hearing his question without any hesitation, that person let out a muffled laugh, voice cold and gloomy.

"I want you, after the Cosmic Music Concert's first performance, to expose the true faces of Gou Siwen and Cen Wu Bai, as well as what they've been doing behind the scenes."

Hearing this, Yu Shenshen froze for a moment, tightly frowning, "... Why?"

"Don't ask so many questions; if you don't do it, these things will be posted online for everyone to see—whether they get into trouble or you do is entirely up to you."

"Seeming to feel this threat wasn't big enough, the voice added: 'If you succeed, all of Cen Wu Bai's resources and everything from Song Xing Entertainment will be yours.'"

For someone like Yu Shenshen, the lure of profit and resources is far more important than feelings between lovers.

He almost immediately agreed.

"Good, good, good! I agree!"

Yu Shenshen answered while cautiously glancing at the door, making sure his voice wouldn't be heard by anyone outside.

"You better keep your word—I've recorded everything."

"You have no choice."

After the call ended, Yu Shenshen remained in a state of utter disbelief.

I never expected that after being threatened by Jin Chen, something good would happen so quickly... Although I don't know who the other party is, anyone who has a grudge against Gou Siwen must be some big boss; I wouldn't need to put in any effort, and I could get Song Xing Entertainment in the future.

Plus, I wouldn't have to worry about being threatened by him every day over the leverage he holds.

He quickly jotted down that phone number in his memo, deleted the call log and all emails, then breathed a sigh of relief and lay back on the bed.

Just then, Cen Wu Bai, who had just finished dance practice, came to his room.

"You... you're not sad?"

Cen Wu Bai was a little surprised; he thought Yu Shenshen would be unhappy all night over any trouble, just like before, and no amount of coaxing would help.

"Of course I'm not sad." Yu Shenshen smiled, as if the person who had just promised over the phone to mess with Cen Wu Bai wasn't him.

"Right now, the most important thing is the performance stage; nothing else is worth feeling sad over."

Cen Wu Bai walked over, bent down, and kissed his cheek, "It's great that you think that way."

He casually put his phone on the nightstand, "You go to sleep first; I'm going to take a shower."

"Go on, you're tired from practicing dance." Yu Shenshen hugged him, his tone sweet.

The bathroom door closed, and the phone on the nightstand was picked up.

——

The day after returning from Fuliyuan, online opinion had basically reversed; the best course now is to not interfere further, to avoid letting the situation escalate.

All members of Valuri also threw themselves into the intense preparations for the performance stage.

Since it's an original song, the five of them first met with Chenli and several studio musicians to decide each person's division of labor and which stage parts they'd be responsible for.

It was finally decided that Jin Chen would handle the lyrics, while arrangement and composition would be mainly handled by Yu Jinzhou and Ren Pingsheng, and Song Xing and Wen Yu, the two dance members, would handle stage concept and choreography.

In the morning, Jin Chen stayed in his room writing lyrics; after lunch, he went to the training room together with Yu Jinzhou.

He saw that the three who had arrived early had a strange atmosphere.

Jin Chen raised his eyebrows at the silent Wen Yu and Ren Pingsheng, then turned his gaze to Song Xing, who was practicing dance silently, not daring to breathe, his eyes questioning.

Song Xing blinked, leaned in, and whispered to the two, "I don't know what's going on either; this morning Teacher Chen came to see Shengsheng, then Shengsheng went out to chat with Wen Ge, and when they came back they were like this."

Yu Jinzhou gasped softly, also lowering his voice, "I think I know why."

"'Wen Ge came to see me last night and we talked about his feelings for Shengsheng,' he paused, his almond eyes widening in surprise, 'Shengsheng won't have recently confessed to Wen Ge, will he?'"

Jin Chen nodded, "It's not impossible."

Song Xing: "???"

"'What are you saying?!' How could he not know that Wen Ge and Shengsheng still have feelings for each other!"

His words were a bit loud, and Wen Yu and Ren Pingsheng both looked over.

Song Xing quickly covered his mouth with both hands and shook his head frantically.

"Since you're all here, let's start practicing the first part of the dance."

Wen Yu pretended to be relaxed, clapped his hands to signal them over.

Since the people involved didn't want to talk, they also didn't want to say much; Jin Chen and the two others tacitly avoided mentioning it.

Wen Yu and Song Xing together explained the story and stage concept of the choreography; overall it leaned toward a medieval European court style, and combined with the arrangement they made some revisions, and an afternoon quickly passed.

When returning to the dormitory, Ren Pingsheng unusually did not wait for Wen Yu to leave together.

"'I'm going to talk to Teacher Chen about the CP hype thing; you guys go back first.'"

Watching his departing back, Yu Jinzhou silently looked at the silent Wen Yu, "Wen Ge, what's this CP hype?"

Wen Yu lowered his gaze, his tone lacking the earlier calm.

"'The agent of the Extreme 007 Girl Group found Xi Ge, saying they wanted to hype up a CP with our team, and the chosen person is Shengsheng.'"

The three quickly exchanged glances.

No wonder.

Jin Chen: "What opinion does he himself have?"

Wen Yu also didn't hide it from them; their gaze toward the outside was somewhat wistful.

"He asked for my opinion, saying that if I wasn't willing, he would definitely not accept."

Song Xing bared their teeth in surprise, "Wen Bro... you wouldn't let him accept, would you?"

"No, I just said, whether to accept or not is his own business, has nothing to do with me."

Hiss—

The three of them simultaneously took a deep breath.

Song Xing gave them a thumbs-up, "Wen Bro, you're still ruthless."

Jin Chen suddenly approached, his tone low as he asked them.

"Wen Bro, do you really not like Shengsheng, or do you have some reservations?"

"I..."

Wen Yu opened their mouth, but didn't continue.

He wanted to say that of course he liked it, the day-and-night companionship and joint effort, aside from friendship, the affection had already fermented countless times.

But once some words are spoken, they cannot be taken back.
